For today’s special edition of SwitchArcade, I’m going to highlight the best fighting games on Nintendo Switch. These include retro arcade ports, new releases, some surprises, one game that people don’t consider a fighting game, and more. With the Nintendo Switch in its fourth year on the market, it has gotten quite a bit of support in the fighting game genre across many publishers. I also didn’t want to feature every single fighting game I like on the platform and cover the ones I would recommend when anyone is looking for a best of list. If you think I missed something, feel free to suggest it in the comments below. Each game write up below will also include information on how the online player base for said game is on Nintendo Switch right now for those who are interested in online play. This list is in no particular order.
BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle Special Edition ($49.99)
BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is one of the best surprises of the last few years for me. It brings the universes of Under Night, BlazBlue, Persona, RWBY, and much more together for a super fun tag fighter. It is very accessible for newcomers mechanically and has a ton of great single player content including a long story mode. Knowledge of the characters would help given this is meant for fans but don’t be afraid to try it out even if you only recognize a few names. BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle got me to watch RWBY since I was already a fan of the other franchises featured...
